Swamp Thing (1982), Wes Craven
2/5
From the director of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) comes this comic book adaptation which is neither cheesily fun, nor an effective science fiction drama. Performances are over the top, yet not overly funny despite the cast including competent 80s actor Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York, The Fog). The film kind of drags on especially the action sequences which basically involve a lot of running through the swamp and Alice Cable's (Adrienne Barbeau) character isn't particularly intelligent in her attempts to escape. Overall this film is bad, but not bad enough to be a "good-bad" 80s scifi film and is a basic "Beauty and the beast" style narrative where the monster saves the girl.
